Adagio Has Mate!

Just a head’s up, Adagio now has mate, and is giving 4 samples with every $19 through the end of the month. I don’t know if you have to click through their Facebook page to get the deal, or if it’s always there, though.

I just placed a $14 order this week, which was still on my lap when I saw this… c’est la vie.

is the mate pretty straight or is it the mixed/flavored types? Does anyone know of a good/easy mate importer? I really don’t like the mixed stuff but my friend from Argentina always has delicious straight mates she brings back, and I have no idea how to get those in the states!

yea so i guess they’re all flavored except their basic? I mean, i guess i’m not looking for different flavors so much as the different brands they have in argentina. it seems like all you can find here is guayaki…

Yes, I know this is a very old post, but I just started a new job and one of my co-workers drinks mate from a traditional Calabash gourd. What is the preparation like for mate? Where can I get a decent gourd and drinking straw if I want to try it out?

I don’t know much about the preparation, as it turns out I didn’t much care for mate, but I’d like to suggest arborteas.com and teahaus.com as places to buy the gourd and straw. I love both companies, and it’s only partially because they are from my city. :)

Thanks so much! I really expected this to be a dead thread :)
Why didn’t you like it?

I did find this store. My wife is always buying tons of stuff from this place. All handcrafted personal sellers. A lot of choices on gourds, at least with this seller. I will check out those sites, as well. Thanks!
